CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, you have an idea about how to tackle a difficult obstacle, but someone crosses your path with a different agenda. Perhaps there’s a way to work together.

PISCES

Pisces, avoid open conflict without being a pushover this week. Find the middle ground and try to understand another’s perspective.

PUZZLE NO. SU14C290

ARIES

HOW TO PLAY:

Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU14C290 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

TAURUS

Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.

GEMINI

Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER

Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

LEO

Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution.

VIRGO

Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a careful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it’s worth this week.

Women’s shelter benefits from donation

The members of Lansdowne Chapter #72 Order of the Eastern Star, Enderby recently delivered ‘ditty’ bags to the S.A.F.E. Society in Salmon Arm. Pictured are, from left: Marion Hope, Anne-Marie Maides, Maureen Karran, Leslie VanderMeer, Lansdowne members and Sara Inskip director of

S.A.F.E. The Lansdowne Chapter #72 Order of the Eastern Star, Enderby has been donating ditty bags to the Salmon Arm and Vernon Transition Houses for 16 years.

The handmade bags are filled with essentials such as brushes, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste,

shampoo and other toiletries, tissues, notepads, pocket books, colouring books and crayons, as well as a special stuffed toy for each child. This helps to ensure that women and children who have left their homes with nothing have a little something extra.

The Order of the Eastern Star has a long history of giving back to the community and is well known for its collection of cancelled stamps, and any donations are appreciated.

Stamps should be cut off the envelope leaving a 1/2” border around the stamp. If you have post cards do not cut off the stamp – donate them intact. These are sold to a stamp dealer and the money is used to buy materials to make dressing for hospitals to use for cancer patients free of charge.

The Order of the Eastern Star would like to thank the staff of Lakeshore News for putting their stamp ads in the paper, enabling them to collect additional stamps to assist with raising money for cancer.

For further information or stamp pickup, please contact Anne-Marie at 250-804-0367 (Salmon Arm) or Diane Mamalick at 250-2602606 (Vernon).

Christmas Decorating

Keep Christmas holidays safe for your pets

By Janet Pattinson, BC SPCA Shuswap branch The holiday season is a time to think of your pets’ needs and safety.

When decorating your home, there are some particular hazards to keep in mind. The tree should be well-secured and it is wise to keep decorations above paw height. Using

string to hang decorations instead of hooks helps, since hooks can easily be dislodged. If possible, use non-breakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair–cats and dogs will ingest both, and they can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets, especially chewing puppies

ORL holiday closures

All branches of the ORL will be closed during the holiday season beginning Wednesday, December 24 through Friday, January 2, 2015.

Branches will reopen on Saturday, January 3 or thereafter depending on their normal operating hours.

Ensure you stock up on your books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and enjoy the extended loan periods that are in place. Beginning Wednesday, December 3rd, all items that have a three week loan period will extend to a five week loan. Starting December 15th, items that normally loan for one week will be given a three week loan period.

All book bins will be locked during our closure, so please wait to return your items until our library

W NOSING! LEA

branches reopen. Even though our doors and bins will be locked, our virtual library is open 24/7 where you can use the online catalogue as well as borrow eBooks, eAudiobooks, or eMagazines. Don’t forget about some of our amazing, always available databases which can help you learn a language, fix a car, or tile a bathroom floor. Check out all our electronic and digital tools at www.orl.bc.ca. Please ensure you have a valid library card and pin/ password before we close so you can use these constantly available resources.

The staff at Okanagan Regional Library wish all our patrons the very best during this holiday season and look forward to serving you in the new year.

and exploring kittens. If you add chemicals to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to help it last longer, keep in mind those chemicals are toxic to animals and keep the reservoir covered.

People love to buy toys for their animals, too. It is best to avoid pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

When it comes to real bones, keep in mind that poultry bones easily splinter and can cause serious injury. Bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations.

Chocolate and other sweets designed for people should not be given to animals. Watch for healthy animal treats instead. The best thing you can do for your pets over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet.

A number of popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals. These include mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. It is best to keep these plants out of reach of pets, especially birds.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin occurring in citrus fruits and green vegetables, and it is known to be helpful for at least 300 metabolic functions in the body. It is used as a powerful antioxidant that protects against damaging natural substances called free radicals. Good evidence supports using vitamin C supplements to help treat cold and flu. Moreover, it has even more feathers in its hat. Besides being helpful in increasing immunity, vitamin C, in the form of a supplement or in one’s diet, has been linked to the lowering of blood pressure.

According to a study done at John Hopkins Institute in Baltimore, consumption of vitamin C was helpful in the lowering of diastolic (top) blood pressure as well as systolic (bottom) blood pressure in people who had high blood pressure.

The systolic pressure dropped by 4.85mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 1.67mm Hg. In the trial dose of 500 mg a day, vitamin C was used for about eight weeks. In this short-term study, the result of vitamin C on the lowering of blood pressure looked good. However, the researchers felt there is a need to study long-term effects of consuming vitamin C and its effect on blood pressure.

Some common sources of vitamin C are: citrus fruits, papaya, strawberries, gooseberries, black currants, tomatoes, broccoli and rosehips. It should be noted that the effectiveness of vitamin C is reduced by long periods of storage and is destroyed by high temperatures.

Consuming fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C is usually safe; however, it should be consumed in supplement form on a regular basis should only after consulting a health care practitioner, as it can interfere with certain medications and conditions. For example, to name a few, vitamin C can worsen the condition in people with kidney stones. It also has a blood thinning effect so it can interfere with other blood thinning medications.

Health AND Wellness FROM THE Inside Out!

Osteoporosis

ies should be as high as possible.

That way, over a lifetime, if calcium is depleted, one won’t “run out” and suffer fractures.

How do kids build up their calcium account? Lifestyle. Your nervous system controls and regulates EVERY cell organ and tissue in the body. This includes monitoring the amount of calcium in your bones. If the bones are stressed through running, jumping and playing, the nervous system recognizes this “good stress” and will add more calcium to strengthen the bones. If a child is sedentary in front of the tablet, computer or TV and is not active, the nervous system does not see the necessity of adding extra calcium to the bones. It’s the usual “use it or lose it”!

In addition to physical activity, one cannot discuss osteoporosis without addressing diet. If the nutritional building blocks for your bones are not available through diet, your skeleton will be weaker.

Obviously ensuring sufficient dietary calcium is key. Another important one is Vitamin D, as it is required by the body in order to capture dietary calcium.

Finally, as mentioned earlier, your nervous system is in control of every part of this process. Have your kids checked by a family chiropractor to ensure a clear functioning nervous system. In addition, all adults and the elderly benefit from regular chiropractic adjustments as a clear nervous system greatly improves balance. For anyone already diagnosed with osteoporosis, the worst thing they can have is poor balance as the chances of a catastrophic fall and fracture greatly increases.

Dr. Warren Gage is a family wellness Chiropractor and can be reached at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) Sale continues for the month of December 803-0224.

Osteoporosis is one of the most common bone diseases, affecting a large number of Canadians. In fact 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. It is also a major financial challenge for our already stretched Canadian healthcare budget. In 2010 it cost $2.3 billion to care for people with osteoporosis and related bone fractures.

Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones lose calcium and weaken, increasing the chance of fractures.

The most common areas of fractures are in the wrists, spine, shoulders and hips. While there continues to be debate over the actual causes of osteoporosis, it is clear this condition has a number of contributing factors. However, what is encouraging, is it is also a condition largely preventable.

Osteoporosis is not an “old person problem.” The amount of calcium found in your skeleton can be analogous to your bank account.

Lifestyle habits and activities will either make calcium deposits or withdrawals. Just like a bank account, if the withdrawals are larger than the deposits, your calcium becomes overdrawn and the bones are then at risk for fractures.

One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of this condition is that the bank account of calcium is not a retirement account, it is a childhood savings account. By this I mean the most important time period that the calcium needs to be accumulated is from childhood to mid 20’s. Ideally, by 25-30 years of age, the stored calcium in our bod-

Interior Health promotes HIV testing

Interior Health launched a new campaign today to encourage all adults in the region to get tested for HIV. The “My Health Is Sexy” campaign uses intimate images to convey the message that knowing your HIV status is an important part of a healthy sex life and a good relationship. Campaign materials include a website (www.

MyHealthisSexy.com), as well as social media and print materials.

The campaign is part of the province’s ground-breaking Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/AIDS) program. The STOP HIV/AIDS program aims to reduce HIV transmission and improve the health outcomes of those living with HIV by offering widespread HIV testing, treatment, and early engagement into care.

In B.C., it is estimated that approximately 3,500 are people living with HIV and are unaware of their status. The campaign sets out to change this.

“Expanding HIV testing and treatment has proven to be the best way forward to fight HIV and AIDS,” said Dr. Perry Kendall, Provincial Health Officer for B.C. “Innovative testing campaigns like this will help ensure we reach as many people as possible and engage them in the care they need.”

Today, people living with HIV and receiving treatment can expect

to live longer, healthy lives free of symptoms. In fact, research has shown that an early diagnosis in combination with sustained antiretroviral therapy means HIV-positive people can expect to live up to an additional five and a half decades.

In addition, sustained treatment can greatly reduce the likelihood of HIV transmission.

“There remains a great deal of stigma around HIV despite extraordinary advances in treatment,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “We hope this campaign will inspire people to take control of their health, be proactive in requesting an HIV test, and begin life-saving treatment if necessary.”

The first phase of the campaign promotes HIV testing for all adults with specific materials targeting men who have sex with men. Future campaign materials will target additional high prevalence populations including injection drug users and sex trade workers. The campaign is being supported by health outreach nurses, a mobile team that offers discreet and confidential testing for those who may not access testing in traditional locations.

For more information on the campaign, visit MyHealthisSexy. com. For information on HIV and B.C.’s STOP HIV/AIDS program, see attached backgrounder.

“YOU WROTE HOW TO GET RID OF A BAD TENANT” A woman phoned me because she remembered that this column had information on getting a troublesome tenant to move out. I asked some questions, heard her situation, and said I call myself an eviction consultant. She asked my charge, which I gave her, and I also gave her the steps I would take to get the tenant to move from her house.

A man called me on advice of his doctor. He had a troublesome tenant who refused to move and it was causing him a lot of stress. His blood pressure was sky high.

HAVING FUN WITH SLEIGH RIDE TEA I imagine I’m having a sleigh ride each time I have a cup of Sleigh Ride tea made with leaves from the Tea and Spice Shoppe at 261 Alexander St. The store has a great variety of holiday teas in large glass containers on the counter, and hundreds more on shelves. Choose from the many products that would make an ideal gift for the person who has everything.

WOMEN’S CHOIR SANG AT THE PIE COMPANY Familiar Christmas songs took me back to Christmas concerts when I was a youngster at Green Meadow School near Watson, Sask. A ladies choir sang at Shuswap Pie Company for nearly an hour last Thursday evening when many stores downtown were open late. The dozen women from four different churches had a lot of fun and I wished I could be singing with them.

IMAGINING I AM AT THE EIFFEL TOWER I had samples of Terrior cheese at Culinary Inspirations Gourmet & Specialty Foods last Thursday evening, and I bought a jar of orange marmalade that is a product of France. The next morning when I had it on my toast, I was imagining that I was in Paris! The store has an incredible variety of kitchen gadgets and gourmet food items that I doubt can be found in any other local store.

Safe to say Smart Meters were a bad idea

Addressed to Christy Clark, BC Premier, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines As you are aware by the controversy surrounding Smart Meters, it is probably safe to say that it was a bad idea. The Smart Meters do not save any money, have proven to be unhealthy (electromagnetic radiation and hypersensitivity), are invasive, cause fires, and can be hacked by foreign countries.

They have been removed in Saskatchewan and replaced with the old analogue meters. The BC Government has

had to resort to Orders in Council to stifle organizations like BCUC who are supposed to regulate utility companies from ripping off the average citizen.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the most important thing about these meters. They have to be replaced as their useful life is only seven years. Due to the software problems, they should be replaced in five years.

Here is a solution. Rather than look forward to replacing this $500 Smart Meter with another that costs the same, replace it with an analogue meter that only costs

about $50, or one tenth. This solution would do away with all the problems outlined in the first paragraph. We would be like Saskatchewan, and the Liberal Government might even be re-elected. This could be started in the next year and the savings would be enormous. Take the money out of the BC Government Water Rental Fund which amounts to over $320 million per year. The whole replacement cost would be one tenth of the seven-year requirement and it could be started immediately.

Budgeting 102 (2014 edition)

So you read my article last week and decided to sit down and make a budget.

Good for you! Be sure to eat a couple extra chocolates this Christmas season as a reward. You deserve it!

Unfortunately, if you are like most people, your budget is probably showing a deficit. If you are the government, this is okay because it doesn’t seem to matter that they spend irresponsibly (do you sense the sarcasm?) However, for the rest of us spending more than we can afford isn’t okay.

So what do you do?

Well, you have two options; you can either increase the amount of cash coming in or decrease the amount of cash going out. It is that simple. As I like to say, “Dollar in, dollar out.” Sorry people, but there is no magic formula and borrowing to subsidize your spending habits is not an option.

It is a great idea to increase your income by working harder or smarter.

However, most people either don’t have that option or make the choice to keep things status quo. So that only leaves the option of decreasing your expenses in order to balance your budget.

So how do you decrease your expenses? Well, here are some tips on how to curb your spending.

Have self-control. This is easier said than done. If you can’t afford the new boat, don’t buy it! Just because your neighbour does something doesn’t mean you need to. I can’t tell you the number of times I was told growing up, “Just because Johnny did it, does it mean you

should?” It’s funny how we tell our kids things and don’t apply them to ourselves as adults.

Avoid paying interest on items you know will drop in value.

There is good debt and bad debt. Good debt is borrowing to generate potentially more income than it is costing you in interest. Bad debt is borrowing to buy

Got ws? ne

something that likely isn’t necessary for one, and secondly, depreciates in value.

Everywhere we turn, we are being offered opportunities to get into bad debt. Be wary!

Spend efficiently. It is amazing how much you can save by being organized.

For example, gift shop throughout the year. If you wait until early December to buy all your gifts, you likely aren’t buying things that are on sale and it is more likely you will use your credit card to pay for it. You may have the intention to pay off the credit card over time, but too often the debt remains and starts to grow.

Another way to spend efficiently is to buy or make gifts that are practical. If

your child is in need of a jacket or perhaps a new pair of shoes; use their birthday or Christmas as an opportunity to give them these practical gifts. You might say, “That is no fun! My kids won’t like that!” To that I would say, it doesn’t matter if it means balancing your budget and avoiding debt. Besides, I think kids care less about the price tags than we might think; especially when they’re young.

Plan your meals. Sit down once a week and create a meal plan, and from the meal plan, create a grocery list. If you don’t plan your meals, you’ll be more tempted to eat out and/or buy groceries that you don’t need which can create waste and cost you a lot of money. Planning your meals will also allow you to check flyers for sales and/ or find coupons.

Be patient. You have just moved out of your parent’s house or finished your schooling and started your first fulltime job. You think to yourself, ‘I’m making good money and it is time to buy a house.’ Great idea. The problem is, you don’t need and probably can’t afford the same house your parents currently own. It probably took them 20 years or more to get to that point. They likely started small and slowly moved up as their income increased. It would be wise for you to do the same.

It isn’t often you get free advice. Be sure to take it to heart and not throw it out with all the toys your kids don’t play with anymore!

From left: Eileen, Bryce, Red, Harpreet, Parmjit, Kulwinder, and Jag.

Lakeside Bowling Center Renovations for the lounge and restaurant are still underway but Lakeside Bowling Center (formerly J-Lanes) is open for business.

“We hope to be done renovations by the end of December,” says Manager Red Manson. “All the structural issues have been dealt with. There is a new roof and the inside was completely gutted, all the walls have been re-drywalled.”

Parmjit and Kulwinder Chahal bought the bowling alley in April, and together with their children, Jag, Harpreet, and Sukhpreet, came up with the great interior design. It’s a combination of soft blues, fun colours, and a scene of the Shuswap.

“We have all new tables and seating. We have couches and they’re super comfortable,” says Red. “We’ve added three flat screen TVs and two projector screens and that’s exciting. If there’s a hockey game or football game we’ll have it on. You can bowl and watch your favourite game.

We’ve moved into the 21st century.”

People can sign up for bowling leagues which go Sunday through Thursday starting at 7 p.m.

“There’s no requirements skill-wise,” says Red. “We also have a very popular Club 55 League. “That’s for people 55 and older. We also have a Sunshine Special Needs Group League and there’s still room in that one.”

The pub and restaurant, which they hope to have up and running by the end of December, will serve typical pub food: wings, fish and chips, burgers, and finger food.

The Chahals also own the Sorrento Inn and Copper Island Pub in Sorrento. Originally from India, they came to Vernon because Parmjit’s sister was living there.

Parmjit was taking some classes, and on a field trip to the Adams River salmon run, he saw Salmon Arm. “This seemed like a nice town. We moved here in 2002.”

They have owned other businesses but never a bowling alley. Parmjit decided to buy it because he realized the residents here really missed it when it closed down.

“We wanted to do this for the people of Salmon Arm. They needed more options for kids, adults and seniors. I know seniors were missing their bowling alley.”

Lakeside Bowling Center is opened Sundays to Thursday from 10 a.m to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.. There is Cosmic bowling on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m.

Staff members also include Office Manager Eileen Kuchta, Lanes Manager Gerry Thomas, Bryce Kuchta, Tyler Kuchta and Sheldon Bayes who are customer sales representatives. Larry Carlson volunteers his time to organize the Club 55 League. They are looking for a cook and for a couple of servers.

Red and Eileen will be reigniting the youth bowling and Lakeside Bowling will be hosting a special event ‘Welcome to Bowling’ for for youth (up to the age of 18) on January 18 from 1-4 p.m. The cost is $5 per child/youth.

To contact them for league information or to reserve a lane call 250-832-3946. They are located at 1881 9th Avenue NE.

Mount Ida Massage Jesse Johnson (left) has opened Mount Ida Massage above Lifetime Fitness. Jesse, along with Emily Kwitkoski (right) are certified spa practitioners. They both plan to have their registered massage therapist certificates in the spring.

Jesse is originally from Legal, Alberta. Her family moved here while she was still in school and she graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary. She moved to Alberta for a year after graduation and worked in her cousin’s chiropractic office and from there got interested in massage therapy. She came back to Salmon Arm and signed up for the program at Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. She married Bryce Johnson who is a Certified Heavy Equipment Operator currently working for Boundary Fencing.

“To be honest I always knew that starting a business was something I wanted to do, I just never thought it would be something I would accomplish at such a young age! I feel that growing a business in Salmon Arm is a smart idea. It is such a beautiful community to invest in.

I’m very proud of where we are right now, but I would love to see Mount Ida Massage eventually develop into a much bigger wellness clinic with anywhere from four to six therapists.”

Emily comes from Prince George and ended up in Salmon Arm through her friendship with Jesse, whom she met at the college in Vernon. Emily has a strong sports background with a full soccer scholarship at the University of Northern BC, and played for the BC provincial team.

“It’s kind of sad how I got interested in massage therapy,” she says laughing. “I had a lot of injuries and I was really close to my physiotherapist. At first I wanted to be a physiotherapist but then I started doing some research and I became more interested in massage therapy.”

The name of the business has a double special meaning for Jesse. “Everything in Salmon Arm is oriented around Mount Ida. It’s really tied to Salmon Arm. My grandmother’s name was Ida Lamontaine - which is ‘mountain’ in French. I thought it was nice to tie her name into the business.”

Mount Ida Massage is actually located within Sweet Freedom Yoga studio which is above Lifetime Fitness.

Their booking hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

“We have no receptionist but we access our voice mail often and people can also book online, it’s very easy,” says Jesse. “I want people to know it’s a really professional atmosphere. It is a ‘relaxation massage’ but there are a lot of health benefits. We have a variety of relaxation music or people can bring their own – if it’s appropriate relaxation music. ‘We have gift certificates and frequent deals with Sweet Freedom Yoga. If you like us on Facebook you will get notified of deals. Our first 25 clients also get a free pass to Crazy Creek Hot Pools.”

To contact them go to www.mountidamassage.com or phone 250-833-0353.

They accept consignment anytime, no appointment is necessary but it’s a good idea to call first before brining items in. To contact them call 250-833-3528.

Heritage Society celebrates 25 years Mary Wetherill (left) was given the honours of cutting the cake at the Okanagan Historical Society Salmon Arm Branch 25th anniversary celebration on Sunday. Earlier in the afternoon OHS President Rosemary Wilson (right) presented Mary with a framed photo in recognition of all the work she has done for the society. Edna and Alf Peterson were also recognized for their contributions although they were unable to attend the celebration.

In her presentation, Dr. Cindy Malinowski announced there would be a Heritage Tea & Tour on Sunday June 7, 2015. These have been a popular sell-out in the past.

Rosemary and Dorothy Rolin gave an overview of the Salmon Arm branch’s achievements in the past 25 years.

Maarten & Joosje Albricht have been residents of the Shuswap area for almost forty years.

Together they raised their three children in this area and they are now proud grandparents who enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, two of which were born here at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Maarten Albricht, now retired, was a forester in this area and developed seed orchards to produce improved forest tree seed for reforestation in the Interior of BC. Maarten was also a Rotarian and has worked with the organization for many years, organizing Rotary Youth Exchange and helping his Rotary colleages to raise funds to assist in local and international charitable work. Apart from their children and grandchildren, Maarten and Joosje’s relatives all live in the Netherlands so their friends and neighbours here became their ‘family’. The Shuswap Lake General Hospital has played a part in the lives of their families, Joosje says “we are so appreciative of our hospital facilities, our grandchildren were born here, Maarten and I have used the hospital for procedures. We are very impressed with the treatment by staff”.

At the Shuswap Hospital Foundation we are extremely grateful for the thoughtfulness and generosity of Maarten and Joosje Albricht. We congratulate them on becoming ‘Partners’ of the Shuswap Hospital Foundation and helping to fund much needed equipment for our Shuswap health facilties.

By Nan Dickie “Sticks and stones may break my bones, and words can hurt or heal me.”

The words that we all use to describe mental illness and the experience of it can have a strong bearing on our attitude towards the potential healing or decline of those who experience mental illness.

The mental illnesses I write about–clinical (or recurring) depression and bi-polar disorder–are called mood disorders. “Mood disorder” is a term that I like to use, as it doesn’t have the unfortunate and sometimes unkind connotations that the term “mental illness” has.

I am a person who has experienced yearlong episodes of clinical depression every five years or so since I was 17. For many years, I thought of– indeed, labelled–my episodes as “cancer of the mind,” with all the horror that term evokes.

I recently heard a psychiatrist refer to mood disorders as “dragons” and “challenging foes” that we

It’s all how we look at it

must “try to defeat with pharmacological weapons.” From my experience with clinical depression, I would like to offer a different perspective on our use of the of language for these illnesses.

At one time, I too thought of depression as a savage beast that I must try to obliterate, as a red-hot dragon that I must flee from, as a deadly demon that I must annihilate with drugs. And, indeed, I have tried every weapon at one time or another: intelligent reasoning, spirituality, will power, and medication.

Sadly, none of these techniques had any long-lasting, positive effect on the sorry state of any particular episode.

These

attempts did not help me conquer depression, nor make the enemy retreat. In fact, at times these activities directed against a foe seemed to fuel the fire of depression. I would end up feeling

like a failure, a loser in this impossible fight.

My feeling of selfworth would be diminished, if not demolished.

Over the past few years, I have come to view my episodes differently. Rather than using provocative words such as dragon and foe, I now use words that, to me, accurately describe the intensity of the experience, admitting to its awful reality, without giving depression the power of an enemy. I now use terms such as

“the Dark Pit”, and “the Ominous Presence.”

Admittedly, these are not exactly emotionally stripped terms.

However, with the Black Pit, I have limited success in wrapping depression into a shape that has dimensions less than infinity. With the Ominous Presence, I acknowledge its omni-present darkness, without bestowing it with hate.

Those of us who have mood disorders have a bio-chemical brain anomaly, some faulty wiring that causes recurring pain.

(Given the nature of the illness, however, we cannot believe these facts while we’re in an episode.) We try to remember that being depressed is not our fault (though it is our brain’s flaw). Is that how you see it?

Let’s all be on the same side–the side of knowing that mental illness is an illness and not a weakness; the side that supports and brings hope to every one who has a mood disorder or any other mental illness; the side that is willing to learn new ways of thinking

behaviour. We learned that dogs are more likely to repeat a behaviour if they are rewarded for it, and we discussed that small treats are the most motivating reward for your dog in this exercise.

It will be easiest if you have a helper to assist with this training session. You should hold your dog (if he’s small enough) or sit next to him and have a large supply of small treats readily available. Your assistant will hold the clippers.

Step 1: Hold your dog and supply him with a few treats until he becomes focused on you and comfortable with his surroundings.

Step 2: While patting, talking to your dog, and distracting him with treats, have your assistant briefly touch his paw. He should remain focused on you and distracted enough that he will not worry about the assistant. Repeat this step until he becomes obviously comfortable with your assistant touching his paw. Make sure that you reward him by feeding treats only when he is relaxed.

Gradually increase the amount of time the assistant handles his paw.

Repeat as necessary.

Step 4: Following along the same pat-

tern, have your assistant now touch the dog’s nail with the clippers.

Step 5: Have the assistant place the nail inside the clipper.

Step 6: Clip the nail.

If you have been patient and repeated each of the steps as necessary to keep the dog comfortable and relaxed, it should now not be a problem to clip the dog’s nails. If your dog becomes worried or anxious during any of the steps, you may need to return to the previous step again and make him comfortable with that before advancing, or you may need to divide the steps into even smaller increments.

You want to slowly shape the behaviour so that he never has the opportunity to become scared and aggressive again! It may only take one session to make your dog comfortable with this process or it may take many sessions—be ready to adjust your expectations. Always make sure you end training sessions on a positive note before the dog loses interest and while the game is still fun!

It was November 29th (Black Saturday) and the temperature was hovering around -13ºC. There was a lone figure walking the streets of Salmon Arm, with the guts to fight for what he believes in. He seeks ‘fairness’ for all Salmon Arm folk, especially the under-privileged (such as single parents, people with disabilities, senior citizens, pensioners and retirees). He carried a large placard denouncing the ‘RIP OFF’ fuel prices in our city. I honk an acknowledgement in appreciation of the courage and stamina that this determined individual displays – sadly lacking in our own elected government officials.

Arm for over five years, and would sooner hitch hike to Enderby in -20ºC, if I ran out of fuel. On November 29th, every station in Salmon Arm (all 8) register the same price–123.9, even though oil had dropped to a record low of $66.00 a barrel. When I got home, I could not stop thinking about that man marching all alone in the bitter wind, so decided to do my part and research gas prices. Here is what I discovered.

Starting on Vancouver Island, (where fuel is probably trucked in by ferry), gas in Victoria was priced at 114.9! Sooke (on the far west coast) was also 114.9. Duncan prices ranged from 115.9 to 117.9, while Vancouver itself was only 119.5 to 122.9. Working our way north, Kamloops came in at 107.9109.9. Chase and Jade Mountain respectively were at 119.9, as was Enderby. In Vernon, gas was 119.9, with Lake Country being only 118.9. Kelowna prices were 119.9– 120.9. ALL of the above, from the far west coast (Sooke) to the Central Interior (Kelowna) were priced LESS THAN Salmon Arm. Want to know something really interesting?

On this very same day, fuel was being sold in Prince George for 106.9! We won’t even mention Toronto at 103.9 (with premium at 114.9), nor gas prices in Calgary at 92.9!

So, fellow consumers, if a lone individual has the conviction and stamina to march outside in -13ºC for our benefit, then surely the least

we can do is demonstrate our support and solidarity for this just cause. Please email your written opposition to this ongoing, discriminatory business practice in ‘SLAMMIN’ Arm. Email the Honorable Bill Bennet (Minister of Energy) at: MEM.Minister@gov. bc.ca.

It is time to let our elected representatives from the Okanagan and Shuswap know that we will no longer accept second-class treatment.

If Ms. Clarke and Mr. Kyllo profess to fairly represent ALL constituents in both the North and South Okanagan, then it is time to make your feelings known to them at: premier@gov.bc.ca, and especially to Mr. Greg Kyllo (if he wishes to retain his seat) at: greg.kyllo.mla@ leg.bc.ca, (phone 250-833-7414 or fax 250-833-7422). Until ALL voters and consumers in the same geographic area are treated in a fair and equal fashion, we must regularly protest this discrimnatory treatment by contacting our elected representatives....every day and every week if necessary, until results are achieved or election day arrives! If you can’t march, this is your opportunity to help make a difference. I am tired of discrimination...are you?

Ken Smith, Blind Bay Editor’s note: while all of the gas prices in the province have come down since this letter was received on December 1, gas prices in Salmon Arm are still relatively higher than elsewhere.

later and I just noticed this stain a couple of days ago, it is on the underarm and some on the side of the jacket. I do hope there is something that can be done to the positive. I have not done anything thus far. Thank you, Adelon Dear Adelon, According to the Behr website, “Dried spills (on fabric) must be cleaned with lacquer thinner or paint remover.” In doing so, test on an inconspicuous area first, if the stain is mildly noticeable you are best off leaving it. Worst case scenario, have the jacket re-dyed or use a colour match marker to cover the stain.

Feedback from Readers Who Care Re: Winterizing Sue’s trailer I read about your information on how to insulate a trailer. I would recommend that the house insurance be contacted as some insurance won’t pay if bales are used for insulation because of fire. Cecile Re: Winterizing Sue’s trailer I have a glass back door and it gets quite cold in the winter. I use bubble wrap to

insulate. You wet the flat side and the glass and press. It works. I can sit by the door and not get cold. In the spring I take it off and wash the windows.

Two jobs done in one, and no sticky tape.

• Paperclips make wonderful bookmarks; use several clips to mark more than one page in a book.

• Sore fingers from strumming your guitar? A paperclip used when no pick is available, will save those fingers.

Hello Reena, I own an oak desk, and I made the mistake of placing a red candle on top without a holder, and after some time, I moved it only to find that the wax of the candle left a red ring on the wood that I can’t seem to remove.

How can I lift this stain without damaging the wood or its finish (which is either lacquer or varnish)?

Regards, Frank Hi Frank, Candle wax often dyes surfaces, making it difficult to remove.

Begin with one or more of the following solutions (being sure to clean with water between attempts): Goo Gone, Murphy’s Oil Wood Soap, Head and Shoulders Dandruff Shampoo, Sunlight bar Laundry Soap or a product called Krud Kutter. If all else fails, lightly sand and refinish the area.

We are very fortunate to have a great grape growing area here in the Shuswap; as well as award-winning wineries. Also, more of us also enjoy the craft of producing our own homemade wines, with fruit wines being a special delight.

The pleasure of making wine comes in part with the variety of grapes that can be used. The nice thing is, most fruit and berries can be used; and, like good whisky, aging makes it even better, especially so in some cases.

Of all the varieties out there, there’s one that really stands out, and has withstood the test of time. It started with the Cappozi family of Kelowna and then-Premier W.A.C. Bennett. Cap Cappozi started Calona wines. Reasonably priced, and still top sellers, are their Royal red and white, both medium sweet wines. They also had Old Logana. Too, Cap started Cap’s Mountain Fortified Wine, in a jug.

My buddy Ted and I can recall, with a chuckle, hangin’ onto a stop sign out front of Tom Middleton’s Greyhound bus station/restaurant beside the highway in downtown Salmon Arm many years ago, having had a bit too much Ol’ Logana, with Elvis Presley’s top hit “Don’t be cruel” echoing from the big Wurlitzer jukebox inside. This was after attending a country dance, at a large barn up Grandview Bench Road, with the Sun Valley Ramblers playing. I’m sure many of us from Enderby/Salmon Arm recall attending those wonderful dances at Ashton Creek and Grindrod. The Graves brothers usually played those events.

It also goes back quite a ways now, but I still recall the short time I spent working at Calona Wines in downtown Kelowna. It started with an influenza outbreak, just before Christmas 1979.

High up at Postill Lake lodge, we had the radio on, and heard that Calona wines urgently needed workers. It was a quick trip down the mountain by snow machine, then a trip by truck to the winery. The company had three lines running from the huge vats above. Line number one had La Scala Spumante, line number two had red wines, and line three had Red Tassel Vodka pumped into the plant from a Mercury Lines tanker truck. It all came to a crashing halt when a maintenance worker brazing a pipe caused an explosion, blowing up all vats and destroying a front wall.

by Hank Shelley Aside from wines, mulled or otherwise, and with the festive season fast approaching, it’s quite easy to go online to pick up the liqueur recipes, so I’ll move on to recipes.

Smoky venison or moose salami: 4 lbs ground meat. 1/4 cup curing salt. 2 tbsp liquid smoke. 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder. 1 tsp pepper. Cover in large bowl and chill 24 hrs. Divide into 4 parts and shape into logs. Roll up in aluminum foil.

Pierce foil to allow fat to drain away. Bake on broiler rack at 225ºF for about 4 hrs.

Venison in sauce: 3-4 lb venison roast. 1/2 cup vinegar. 2 garlic cloves, minced. 2 tsp salt.

Cold water. Oil. Large onion, sliced. Half a green pepper, sliced. 2 celery sticks, sliced. 1/4 tsp pepper. 1;2 tsp dried oregano. 1/4 cup ketchup. 1 cup tomato juice. Combine vinegar/garlic cloves/2 tsp salt. Pour over venison in large bowl. Add water till venison is covered. Marinate 6-8 hrs. Remove meat, and cut into slices.

Brown in oil in skillet. Place in slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients together. Place in cooker.

Cover and cook for 8-10 hrs on low. Remove, and using 2 forks, pull meat apart, stirring through sauce. Serve on sandwich rolls, or over rice or pasta.

Cranberry Franks: 2 pkgs cocktail wieners or smoked sausages. 16 oz can jellied cranberry sauce. 1 cup ketchup. 3 tbsp brown sugar. 1 tbsp. lemon juice. Combine all ingredients into slow cooker. Cover, cook on high 1-2 hrs. This is a great potluck or buffet treat.

Sausage and sweet potato: 1 lb venison, moose, or beef sausage. 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced. 3 apples, peeled and sliced. 2 tbsp brown sugar. 1 tbsp. flour. 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/4 cup water. Layer sausage, potatoes, and apple in slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients, and pour over top. Cover and cook on medium heat for 4-5 hrs. Enjoy!

A glass of chilled medium red/white wine would top off these recipes real fine.

The financial support of the City of Salmon Arm has, in large part, made this year’s festival possible, and as a thank you to the residents of Salmon Arm for their support, the SAFMS is offering an additional $10 per ticket off the already reduced Earlybird pricing for weekend passes.

Just in time for holiday gift ideas, this is an amazing opportunity to save more than $70 per ticket off gate price. Not only a great value, it’s also a wonderful way to reunite family and friends this summer.

Earlybird Member passes are on sale now for $119 (with the additional $10 off for City of Salmon Arm residents) and sales at this super low price are limited to the first 1000 tickets.

After this, Earlybird Non Member pricing applies but Salmon Arm residents will still be able to receive a $10 discount up until May 29th when this second tier ends.

To take advantage of this special offer you can purchase your tickets online at www.rootsandblues.ca or visit the Roots and Blues office at 490 – 5th Ave SW. Winter office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, contact info@rootsandblues. ca.

Dinner and a movie

Read: Isaiah 11

Christmas Peace and Goodwill But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. - Psalm 37:11 "Peace on earth, good will toward men," said the angels the night Jesus was born. But today, peace on earth is as elusive as ever. Imagine the angels conducting a survey to learn the status of peace on earth. Their report might read something like this: We have completed a thorough investigation of earth. Instead of peace and goodwill, we found discord and animosity. For example, we saw two deacons in a church arguing about how to commemorate Christ’s birth.

When we looked for goodwill, we found greed and self-interest. On Christmas morning, one thirteen-year-old boy screamed at his parents because they had bought him a four-wheeler rather than the dirt bike he had wished for.

This month, select downtown restaurants are offering Dinner and a Movie Specials on Wednesdays. Just drop in for dinner and receive a movie pass valid for the month of December.

The participating restaurants are: Andiamo Ristorante Italiano, Bradbury’s Restaurant, Pink Cherry, The Blue Canoe, The Shuswap Pie Company, Sushi Kotan, Hedi’s Wine Bistro, The Barley Station, Shuswap Chefs, and Cantina Vallarta.

Please note that the final day for this promotion is Wednesday, December 17.

2015 Genesis AWD Sedan

has arrived

We think peace on earth should be characterized by tranquility, but we saw the aisles of Wal-Mart crowded with jostling shoppers. Long checkout lines were filled with irritated parents and whining children. Weary clerks processed credit card transactions that would leave the shoppers more deeply in debt than ever.

We did find festive music and many twinkling lights, but it all seemed hollow.

Where is the peace and goodwill that was predicted so long ago?

In many places we found no trace of peace and goodwill, but here and there we did see them in hearts that are surrendered to the lordship of Jesus. We found these hearts experiencing deep and lasting peace even amidst worldwide turmoil. The effects of such transformed hearts is rippling outward to change the atmospheres of homes and communitites not only at Christmastime but every day of the year. They understand that the best is yet to come.

SPORTS & LEISURE Local skiers do well in season opener

The Sovereign Lake Open held last weekend was the first race of the season for some of the Larch Hills Nordics. Skiers from across Canada came to attend the event in fantastic ski conditions.

Saturday’s race was a free technique race. In the Men’s 10km race, Alexander Corbett placed 2nd in his age category. In the Boys’ 5km race, Andrew Nash placed 3rd, Kellen Visnaugh 7th, and James Hardy 8th. For the Girls’ 5km race, Rachel May placed 3rd in her age category.

Several of the Larch Hills racers participating in this event were racing a category higher than usual, to be able to race with skiers from Ottawa who are staying with Larch Hills families this week as part of a ski exchange.

Sunday was a day of classic technique. In the Mens’ 10km race, Thomas Hardy placed 4th in

In the 1.5 km Classic Sprint qualification round, she came in second, by just 0.56 seconds. Alysson came in 5th in the finals; and 14th in the 10km Classic Distance event. Quickly changing conditions led to problems with waxing, an issue that affected numerous racers.

She will be racing this coming weekend in the Haywood NorAm event in Rossland, BC.

Winery tour weekend Lakeshore News publisher Jeff Morrison enjoyed a visit to the four local wineries last Sunday to take in their open houses and sample some of the wares on offer.

Pictured are, clockwise from top left, Graydon and Maureen Ratzlaff, of Recline Ridge Winery; Catherine and John Koopmans, of Ovino Winery; Jack and Hazel Manser, of Larch Hills Winery; and Kristie Smolne, of Sunnybrae Vineyard and Winery.

Some of the winery staff said that the turnout was down from last year due to the weather, but Jeff reported a good turnout at all the wineries when he was there, and the weather on Sunday was perfect for a driving tour of the Shuswap.

December 23rd @ 3:30PM at the Salmar Classic Theatre (Doors Open at 3:00)

Everyone knows that each Christmas, Santa Claus delivers presents to every last child on Earth. What everyone doesn’t know is that Santa accomplishes the Ĩeat with a very hiŐhͲtech operaƟon beneath the North Pole. But when the unthinkable happens,and Santa misses one child out of hundreds of millions,someone has to save the day.

It’s up to Arthur, Santa’s youngest son, to deliver a present to the forgoƩen tyke before Christmas morning dawns.

Renee Marlene Davies December 7, 1941 - December 2, 2014

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Renee, who was taken tragically from us in a motor vehicle accident near Merritt, British Columbia. Pre-deceased by her first husband Don Davies in 1983, Renee was the dear mother of Cheryl (Bruce), Don (Sheryl) and Dyan, devoted grandmother to Devon, Kalen, Jack, Jaime, Jordan and Cerys, and loving partner of Gordon Osborne. Born in Dewberry, Alberta, Renee grew up on the farm there in summers and Edmonton in winters. She was married in 1960, and worked and raised her family in Edmonton. After completing the social work program at MacEwan University, in 1986 Renee moved to Vancouver where she enjoyed a rewarding career in the public school system and led a vibrant, active life. In 2010, Renee retired with her partner Gord to Salmon Arm, BC. An incredible mother who supported her children in every way possible, proud grandmother who adored her grandchildren, keen observer of the world around her, lover of the arts, courageous crusader against injustice, creative force of rare talent and a woman of exquisite style and impeccable taste, Renee blazed a trail of passion and originality that touched the lives of everyone she met. She will be immeasurably missed by her family and friends, but she has left indelible love.

On Tuesday, December 16, a Mass will be held at 3:00 pm followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 pm at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, 2881 Main St, Vancouver.

A voracious reader and lover of animals, Renee would have deeply appreciated any donations to a literacy or animal protection agency that may be desired to be made in her name.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, you have an idea about how to tackle a difficult obstacle, but someone crosses your path with a different agenda. Perhaps there’s a way to work together.

PISCES

Pisces, avoid open conflict without being a pushover this week. Find the middle ground and try to understand another’s perspective.

PUZZLE NO. SU14C290

ARIES

HOW TO PLAY:

Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. SU14C290 number can appear only once in each row, column and box.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

TAURUS

Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.

GEMINI

Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER

Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution.

VIRGO

Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a careful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it’s worth this week.
